I have decided to go with a two-for-one deal today, featuring clouds as seen from Geilston Bay. The first photograph was taken yesterday afternoon on the Derwent Avenue side of the East Derwent Highway. I snapped the second this morning on the Golf Links Road side of the Highway.
After a couple of weeks of very cold mornings, it was surprisingly mild today. Unfortunately, I had neglected to consider that the last 40 pages of my book consisted of footnotes, so I finished it before I had even boarded the bus. That left lots of window gazing. You have to understand, in Australia, no-one talks to each other on the bus unless you are already very well acquainted. I am deadly serious when I say that if I were to attempt to strike up a conversation with someone, their assumption would be a) pervert; b) mentally ill; or c) a mentally ill pervert.

Funny thing...Cody now has to catch a lot of public transport as he works and goes to school in the CBD (and who could afford to park each day there...$40 per two hours is a bit rich!!) so he has actually started reading... something he only did if he had to at school! I guess it also helps that he works in at the State library as well and has access to their magnificent book collection!
*May joy be the only reason for tears in your eyes in the coming year and always*

Sue: $40 for two hours parking, you can get a couple of parking tickets for two days and you're still in front down here!
Priyanka Khot: there maybe some tears come August, although last time it was just dust in the room, honestly!
Jim: it is funny how being friendly or just taking a picture can evoke hostility, but you can see a bunch of drunken idiots trashing a rubbish bin and no-one dares look! I think people have their priorities all wrong.
Abe: it's always nice to get a complement from a presidential namesake.
Blackie: I have heard too many hitching stories that climax with the driver 'accidently' falling out of hants to get me into it! I don't think I look Christian material, so strangers don't seem to try.
Babooshka: as long as the Ipod isn't blarring and defening everybody else, I'm fine with that.
Neva, some of my best friends are mentally ill perverts!
Greg, you're right, both sunrises and sunsets have been fantastic. I'm waiting for the cockatoos to return to get a snap of them.
